Profile updated October 2, 2026: 2026 receiving checkpoint, historical context and career progression.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. Through the club’s first three 2026 games, he had 27 catches for 405 yards and six touchdowns. Seattle’s October 1 update placed him first in the league in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns at that checkpoint.
How his first three games compare
Week 1 vs. New England: eight catches, 122 yards and one touchdown.
Week 2 at Arizona: nine catches, 155 yards and three touchdowns.
Week 3 at Washington: 10 catches, 128 yards and two touchdowns.
Each game included at least 120 receiving yards and a touchdown. Seattle’s historical review identified Jerry Rice in 1989 as the only previous player to open a season with that combination in three straight games.
What the totals mean
Across those appearances, Smith-Njigba averaged 135 receiving yards per game and 15 yards per catch. Those are calculations from the recorded three-game totals, not a forecast. They measure different things: the first describes production per appearance, while the second describes yardage on completed receptions.
His rise in Seattle
The Seahawks drafted Smith-Njigba 20th overall out of Ohio State in 2023. He went from 63 catches for 628 yards as a rookie to 100 catches for 1,130 yards in 2024. His 2025 regular season then brought 119 catches, 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns.
That 2025 performance earned Offensive Player of the Year and first-team All-Pro honors as Seattle went on to win Super Bowl LX. His current profile should keep those completed-season achievements separate from the small 2026 sample, while making the progression easy to compare.

Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.
